The success of the first Babylonian model that was nominated for the German Design Award 2015, motivated Alexander Shorokhov to initiate a second version.
The inspiration arose from the contact with the history of the biggest and most powerful city’s of ancient times – “Babylon”. It’s not a coincidence the name of the city translates to “gate of god”.
The prosperity of the city in its heyday attracted astronomers, scientists, craftsmen and artists and turned it into a highly developed cultural center.
Furthermore the stellar constellations were discovered there, the zodiac signs invented and the first horoscopes been created.
This is where the cultural fascination Babylon’s is picked up. In a highly complicated procedure, the movement’s plates and the outer ring of the dial are delicately carved out by hand and decoratively designed. The combination of the hour circle of dark blue mother-of-pearl with imprinted zodiac signs and blued hands and hour markers create a fascinating picture. On the back of the watch you can take pleasure in the masterful engravings.
The “Babylonian II” is limited to only 300 pieces.

A cosmos with celestial objects and zodiac signs opens up on the dial of the “Babylonian I”. At the center of this “galaxy” is a hand-engraved movement, as in many of “Alexander Shorokhoff” watches. It is equipped with a special decorative sunburst pattern.
Above all, the great philosopher and writer’s passion for games and his unusual life is what inspired Alexander Shorokhov in the design of the collection. All models in this series have a modern case design with a classic appeal and softly rounded edges.

For this watch series, that is supposed to commemorate the biggest Russian composer, a very special movement was selected and enhanced for the alarm feature.
The envisioned subtle and soft alarm tone required our master watchmakers to completely replicate the Swiss caliber AS 1930. Due to a spring surrounding the movement, the alarm tone sounds significantly fuller now.
Chronograph-Regulators are absolute precision watches. Their mechanics are complex and intricate. However, the CRO1 offers even more sophisticated features.
The timer function has a contrasting color to increase readability and the feature can be easily operated with the two elongated push buttons.
